Our trip to the art gallery was interesting. I am an avid supporter of art in all forms, but I found the tour guide to take away from the experience. Despite the interesting information she provided, I would have frankly enjoyed the visit more if we were allowed to browse the pieces on our own. There were some pieces I was more interested than others but didn’t get a chance to spend time with because the group was moving somewhere else. Some of these include the woman with the scar on her chest which was definitely a powerful piece. The piece with the soldiers juxtaposing against the children living in the home reminded me of one of my favorite shots of the Vancouver riot kissing couple. And the New York City shots are always interesting. They gave light to an environment we are so used to. Overall however the gallery wasn’t exactly the greatest art I’ve come across, even simply in the field of photography. I personally was not captivated by the photographs; however, I respect the artists and their art form.
